Former Coventry City striker Leon Clarke has joined newly-promoted Bury on a three-year contract after his release by Wolves.

The Wolverhampton-born forward hit 28 goals in a productive 12 months with the Sky Blues but only netted three times in his 32 appearances for the Molineux club after signing for £750,000 in January 2014.

Clarke and Callum Wilson formed a formidable partnership in attack for Steven Pressley's side before Clarke left for the eventual League One champions and City's form fell apart in the second-half of the campaign.

However his spell at Wolves was a disaster and 30-year-old spent the second half of the season on loan with Wigan Athletic. His one goal in 10 starts for the Latics couldn't help prevent relegation to League One and he was released by Wolves at the end of the campaign.

Bury boss David Flitcroft told the Shakers official website: "He is pure pedigree and has incredible goal scoring ability. He has the pace, power and intelligence to have a massive impact for us next season.

"He has games on his CV, knowledge and understanding of higher Leagues to help guide us in the next stage of our progression.

"The fact that he wants to play such a huge part in our next chapter speaks volumes for both the Club and player. He wants to be part of our football family and the environment that we and the players have created, and we can offer Leon both."
